Sabrina's WT challenge was to be inspired by an advertisement....whether print or electronic.....to create a card. I thought of the Claritin(allergy medication) ads on TV with fields of flowers. I used an image where field flowers were in two Mason jars by Penny Black.

Two things caught my attention right away on your card - the title, "sneezy" (I hadn't read about the challenge yet), and the beautiful blue green jars. This is a beautiful watercolor and looks like it could have been a little tricky with some of those smaller flowers. Great job!! And by the way, I am allergic to flowers and pretty much all pollens. It makes me a little sad that I can't bring flowers into the house. :

Oh, what a beauty you created today, Sallie. Too bad so many of us suffer from allergies and know what's coming when we head outdoors. Ugh!

Beautiful flowers, but they can be a reminder of allergy season. How can anything so pretty bring so much pain. I love the colors you used and the glass jar looks real. Great card.

Every time I see that Claritin commercial I think on my poor nephew and how he has trouble mowing grass, it gets him every time if he does not take a Claritin before mowing. They work great for him. Brilliantly inspired on your card and so beautifully colored and designed.

What a great ad to inspire this beautiful watercolor card, Sallie! Yes, sneezing is a problem for many, and I have a real allergy to daylilies, especially when the stamen get all puffy with the pollen - ugh! But this is gorgeous as always, my friend! You never cease to amaze and delight! Hugs!

Oh ya I definitely feel the Claritin vibe from this card. The colors on this are so lovely..I really like the mix of colors on the flowers and the blues and greens on the jars are amazing!

Stunning! I'm so glad you framed it, because it definitely SHOULD be in a frame! The beautiful water coloring is amazing - how I envy that!
